His older brother [Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.] had been expected to be the family’s political standard bearer, but he was killed in action during World War II.
That is incorrect as "in action" presumes killed by enemy action. He was killed when the initial operational flight of a experimental drone system exploded prematurely. Just more of the Kennedy literal myth making.
Remembering the Death of Lt. Joe Kennedy Jr. and America’s First Combat Drones
I’ve been given to understand that the Illinois Republican party didn’t want an investigation because they had themselves cheated in some of the downstate elections.
Technically you are correct. Obviously the write-up was done by a civilian who didn’t know better. 😋
Very believable allegation. LBJ was as corrupt, vicious, brutal and deadly as any politician ever was. Read the book “LBJ Mastermind of the JFK Assassination” by Phillip Nelson. He had his own sister murdered.
Then look at the Ike Altgens photo from Dealey Plaza. It shows JFK clutching his throat after being shot. FEW people in the photo have realized that shots were being fired. But in the background you see LBJ’s convertible. Ladybird and Ralph Yarbrough show no reaction but LBJ is not in the photo next to Ladybird. He was already laying down on floorboard and across her lap. He KNEW they were entering the kill-zone and did not trust the shooters to not take a crack at him. He was ducking before anyone knew shots were being fired.
He was rotten filth.
Lets see. Nixon took US off gold standard, and opened up china. Not sure having him as president 8 years earlier would have been that great. Goldwater would have been better.

Is that “winning” though? Finding a guy that is more corrupt than your opponent?
You do have a good point.
In essence we are in the middle of a soft civil war, meaning there is no real armed conflict going on within our borders as with CWI. The current civil war is political, and the rats are playing very dirty, they are very crooked, there is outside influence and there are murders if the Arkancide theory is correct.
To win any war you must match or better the tactics of your opponent. Trying to be fair and honest against a totally corrupt opponent is like taking a knife to a gun fight, you will lose every time. And that is what’s happening right now. Elections are being stolen left and right.
If we want to save our nation, we must match or better the democrats. The rats discarded the fair play rules decades ago. We are fools to still be playing with them. This goody two shoes attitude and constant infighting of the Republican party will literally kill it.
To answer your question, YES, find people just as corrupt as the rats to do the ground work of winning elections AND ENFORCING POLICY.
I thought I read one of the revelations of the most recent (2017?) de-classifications of some of the JFK assassination files was that “Landslide Lyndon” was a KKK member. I suppose this was pretty common for southern Democrats. (And all southerners were Democrats, basically)
In Basic Training as a rural midwesterner I was exposed to some interesting dichotomies. Chicago born Calypso Louis nutbars who wanted to fight, and southern good old boys who insisted the KKK was really sort of like the Elks Club or something.
A simple search finds https://thepoliticalinsider.com/lyndon-johnson-kkk/ states “Released JFK Documents Suggest Lyndon Johnson Was Former KKK Member”
And even msnbc states “Lyndon Johnson was a civil rights hero. But also a racist.” But that, “Johnson was a man of his time, and bore those flaws as surely as he sought to lead the country past them” - https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism-msna305591
